Friends Again

So me and Freya were together tonight, for the first time since I pissed Freya off by not telling her the truth about why I couldn't make it last week

Today started off with Freya having to get stuck in and put up my Xmas tree for me

Then we we't out and ate dinner as a way of me saying sorry

Aargh Ripping

And someone leant me a Sigue Sigue Sputnik CD so I thought "Oh, rippings easy" but then I recalled I haven't ripped out under Windows 8.

I found it in the end....

Xmas Arrangements

And we made more Xmas arrangements today. That Paul chap was here so he said "This and this..." then phoned my Mum, spoke to her for ages then I spoke to her.

Lordy, I think it is coming together, this Xmas with my whole family thing

And we said to Mum, shall we phone restaurants and tell 'em extra person but she said "No, I have done it already"

Snooker

Aaaaaa, I watched the semi final of the GB championship tonight. They were playing first to 9 frames. So one chap was leading 8:3 earlier today, then it went 8:4, then 8:5, then 8:6, then 8:7 and he finally won a scary final frame 9:7 to be in the final. Just wow to both of them tonight

Mmmmmm

And I had my usual Friday night dinner of naan bread pizza and chips tonight. Gosh, I am so impressed with naan pizzas, they are delicious

Better

And I have noticed that getting out of the car is easier again today with more antibiotic. It just needed a day or 3 afterwards 'til I had actually finished etc

Try It

And I think as my leg feels better again that I might try the FES for walking at gym today

Well we have put it on now, it is a bit cumbersome but I think it works, I have ust walked to the loo and back and it feels good.

My swelling was down enuf to try it

And when we got to gym the room was a mess and no class. Which I did grin at but I wanted to try my FES and I thought there would be a class somewhere else but apparently not

House

This house for sale arrived in my inbox and it doesn't look too bad, providing there is not a step up to the front door

We drove past, it looks lovely but there is a step up to the front door. Dunno about the back tho...

Out&About

So we had to go out s'morning to Aardvark and Morrison's (again) to try and stock up on food for Freya who is coming on Saturday as she was busy on Thursday and get my general Aardvark shopping too

HTML Crisis

And I got well stuck trying to do my HTML work today, I tried to do too much and not having an editor where you can check your work made it impossible

Botoxing

And I am off next to have my Botox injection to help me walk etc. I haven't been able to have my FES fitted since I got it as I have been on antibiotics for swollen legs but hopefully it is all finished now

AND no. After a conference they decided to phone 'em and make another appointment in January for my Botox, instead I went to the Drs and got more antibiotics, another week. We said it is so much better can we continue with the same so another week without Whiskey and month and a half without Bioness

Chopper

And about 10.30 s'morning Linda Smith - the toe chopper came around and did another good job sorting out my toenails

Trousers Off

So I was talking to my Mum yesterday and she said "Take your trousers off when you go to bed, help keep infections down". I thought "Erm..." and tried it last night.

I think I started keeping my trousers on because it used to be so difficult taking them on/off as it used to be hard balancing etc

I tried last night and it had become easy again so I guess I'd better change my going to bed habits and actually take my trousers off

New Windows 8

And we spent 6 - 8 hours today downloading a new version of Windows 8. So far it seems almost identical apart from a start button in the corner. Which doesn't bring up useful stuff like it used to but the same picture menu that the not button got before. It was such a large download that there must be loads of differences but that's the only one I have noticed so far

It's OK learning how to use 8 but it is way different, much more than between versions in the past

Alarm Clock

So I remembered to ask Timmy how to set my alarm clock into night-time mode, so no phone calls etc while I am asleep. I tried setting it in night-time and setting my second alarm, the one that I use to wake me up in the afternoon. No good, it was silent night-time mode. But upon investigation further we discovered that you can set the proper alarm clock more than once a day, which will go off and wake me up. So my alarm is still set for 8AM Monday to Friday and another alarm will go off in the afternoon to wake me up from sleep mode, so I can set my alarm-clock to not behave like a phone until I get up

Fark

And Timmy insists that I try this swimming thing again today. So in a bit we are off.....

DoubleFark - it was actually OK. The steps that I get in and out on were broken so they had to use a hoist to get me in and out but it went well after that. We did loadsa walks, exercises, swimming etc. and got a "proper" changing room

55/5

<sigh>
Remembering this morning too

Snooker

And for the last few days I have been watching snooker on't telly. I used to be a fan about 20-25 years ago and I haven't really watched it in between. But I may be becoming a fan again

Gymnastics

Then s'afternoon I put on boots and socks and went to the gym to do exercises. I think today we learned that my second treadmill after cycling for 10 min. was too difficult for my right foot, so perhaps we should just do one, longer, treadmill session at the beginning

Panicy Morning

What a performance. A few days ago my laptop in the bedroom stopped connecting to the interweb. Gareth had a look yesterday to no avail, so TechnoTimmy got stuck in today. He had to tell it to get back to last weeks mode etc etc. We have been in there for a couple of hours but it works again now.

Phew

And I went back and switched it on just to check later and it immediately got on the 'net
